I doubt the New Black Panthers are going to use lawyers to go after him.

It is a sentence fragment. You should know this.

It's libel.

Other than the fact that this case has nothing to do with murder?

Thought this was interesting.

You're talking about an article that hyperlinks "Donations pour in to Trayvon Martin's Killer." As if Zimmerman didn't have a name.

"Profiling" is not a bad thing. Racial profiling, profiling based entirely, or primarily on race, is a problem. Profiling behaviors, clothing, tattoos, and other things is really not.

Yea, I profile all the time on those guys in the Elite Business Class lane at the airport wearing hippie clothes and looking all bum-ish. I know some of them aren't Elite members and the gate agent is just too lazy or too afraid to tell them to wait their **** turn.

[Agitation intended. Any perceived sarcasm is not.]

Thats on me for bad copy paste, in the article it is an italicized quote from the twit who requested the book burning, er banning, er..

I just had a discussion with my wife about this last night. First I had to convince her that the use of the phrase "racial profiling" is being used far too frequently in the media, and that when it's used, it's being used incorrectly 90% of the time. Then we discussed that when people use "profiling" they take many factors into consideration, and race may be one of them; it's a useful and morally/legally sound methodology. When people racially profile, race is the primary (if not only) factor, and it's nigh useless as well as morally/legally unsound.

If I've been shoplifted against 7 times, and each one of them is a black man under the age of ~30, am I wrong to give extra scrutiny when a black man under the age ~30 whom I don't know enters my store?

Looks like Holder and the DoJ wants some info on public enemy number 1 GZ

Hopefully GZ didn't say anything inappropriate like Paula Dean.

I want to sign up that email address for every hard core pornography website, viagra spam site, and anything else horrible.

The man was acquitted. Leave him alone.

Yea.

That, and I'm not sure what extra info they need since his SSN was put on TV. Which is an ACTUAL federal crime rather than a HYPOTHETICAL one that Holder could pursue.

They want someone, somewhere to tell (or make up) a compelling (or even slightly plausible) anecdote showing where George Zimmerman may have said something which could slightly be construed as racist, therefore proving the malice in his heart.

So... the Federal Government now carries out personal witchhunts against citizens domestically? Why not just hellfire him from a drone? Where are the Obama apologists?

Dont be silly, Obama is totally separated from the actions of his appointees and underlings, unlike Bush who is telepathically directing those appointees of his who are still in the government.

And the award for the move overreaction to the verdict goes too...

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/16/up ... -is-white/


An Ivy League professor blogged after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin that the verdict shows God is a “white racist” who stalks “young black men.”

Anthea Butler, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Religious Studies, made the unusual comments in a blog post released on Monday on ReligionDispatches.org, where she is a regular contributor.

“God ain’t good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us,” she wrote in the post. “As a black woman in an [sic] nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain’t my god.

“As a matter of fact, I think he’s a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men,” she added.

Butler adds that Trayvon Martin’s killing was the result of racism that was influenced by Christianity.

“As a historian of American and African-American religion, I know that the Trayvon Martin moment is just one moment in a history of racism in America that, in large part, has its underpinnings in Christianity and its history,” she wrote. “Those of us who teach American Religion have a responsibility to tell all of the story, not just the nice touchy-feely parts.”

“When the good Christians of America are some of its biggest racists, one has to consider our moral responsibility to call out those who clearly are not for human flourishing, no matter what ethnicity a person is. Where are you on that scale? I know where I am.”

According to her biography, Butler holds doctorate and masters degrees in religion from Vanderbilt University as well as a masters in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. She is the author of a 2007 book titled "Women in the Church of God in Christ, Making A Sanctified World," published by University of North Carolina Press.

Butler, who did not respond to requests for comment, is also an associate chair for the school's religious studies department and is a regular contributor and guest on both MSNBC and CNN.

Josiah Ryan, editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, which first reported Butler's comments, said the professor's reaction to the verdict was bizarre.

"No amount of heartbreak over the Zimmerman acquittal justifies these hateful posts," Ryan said. "Professor Butler's remarks were clearly designed to hurt when Americans needed healing and to divide when we needed unity.”

"In tumultuous times students must be able turn to their professors for calm and wisdom. In stoking the flames of hatred, Professor Butler has betrayed her students' trust. UPenn administrators ought not to allow her back in the classroom."

Officials for the University of Pennsylvania declined to comment.

And some wonderful sensitivity from CNN's HLN host.

re: Fester
Did someone try to claim the University of Pennsylvania is Ivy League? That cannot be allowed to slide.

That sort of article is what you get when black intellectuals and leaders are allowed to A) speak for blacks in general and tell blacks what they are supposed to think without opposition B) tell whites (and everyone else) they can't know what the black perspective is C) invent a perspective that whites supposedly have as if they could know, or even as if its one unified perspective and D) then argue against it.

Calls for "national dialogues" or "national conversations" always amuse me, because that isn't what's actually being asked for. What's being asked for is for a conversation between blacks, and a strawman of a "White perspective" that really doesn't exist in the first place.

I read people were calling this and leaving messages about Benghazi and NSA snooping.

I'm sending the DOJ a few tips -

When George dated a black woman in high school, taking her to the prom, that was a diabolical plan to appear not-racist so he could murder black boys a decade later.

When George Zimmerman supported Obama, he was only voting for the white half.

When George was mentoring two black children while their father was in prison, it was because he wanted them to learn their dad deserved prison because he was black.
